( A surprise new year gift. Thank me later and don't kill me at last)

R: I trust you vansh and I know you will never let anything or anyone hurt me.

She had a small smile on her face and closed her eyes. She fell backwards, but was caught by strong pair of arms, she knew who it was, she knew that these arms are safe home for her and will never let anything happen to her.

V: you trust me so much?

R: more than myself. I have blind faith on you because I know you will always be with me.

Vansh smiled as she passed his test with flying colors, she trusts him so much for her own bad. She indeed became an emotional fool in front of his eyes.

He kissed her forehead and set her back on the ground.

V: but what if I would have not cought you?

R: the question itself is your answer, you inserted 'what if' in it. And I know that you would have cought me.

Vansh smiled seeing this.

V: no misunderstanding can break us, we are bound by destiny to be together and if we are not then we will write our own destiny.

She hugged him hearing his heartbeats while he wrapped his arms around her tiny figure protectively.

V: now let's go inside, it's getting cold here.

He made hand gesture to show her that they were still in pool side area, she nodded and went inside as vansh had got a call and excused himself.

V: angre she has to pay me the same price I payed, I will play the same game she played. She will suffer the same way I suffered and now nothing could ever stop me from this game.

He cut the call and looked at the moon.

V: I'll make you regret for the day you're born in this world ridhima. I will give you the same beliefs, hopes, dreams and love someday you gave me then I'll betray you. I will snatch everything from you in a go just like you did. I promise on myself to ruin you, to break you, to make you fall on your knees. You'll be finished soon.

He had tears in his eyes remembering her betrayal, her mind games showing him care and concern while it was all fake and was doing it all for kabir.

V: you betrayed me in worst way possible ridhima but now it's my turn to pay you back the same way.

He walked inside his room and saw her gazing the stars with a small smile on her face. He back hugged her and inhaled her smell.

V: what are you thinking?

R: about sleeping.

Vansh was amused by her answer.

V: if you were thinking about sleeping then why don't you sleep?

He turned her around and she looked like an innocent kid.

R: I was waiting for you.

V: well now I am here, you wanna sleep or?

He raised his eyebrow but ridhima in a second jumped on to the bed, she literally is behaving like a kid. Vansh smiled and adjusted blanket on her.

R: it's comfortable here.

She said as she adjusted herself on his chest and wrapped her arms around his torso.

V: good night sweetheart.

He whispered in her ears and dosed off with her.

Δ

R: so this is what you did huh? Why did you betray me? I trusted you more than anything dammit, how could you?

She held him by collar, she wasn't the same ridhima, her eyes were burning. The fire had burned her.

V: you're asking me that? I played the same damn game you played with me , with my emotions. After showing me fake care and concern that too because of kabir I must say that you crossed every limit in love.

R: But I told you his truth to you.

Confusion was clearly visible in her eyes, she wrote everything in that letter and told him to give a rose if he forgives her, which he gave.

V: very good at lying right? Now leave me and get out of here.

R: but I had told you his truth Vansh, in a letter. I had wrote if you forgive me then express me a rose, token of love.

She had tears in her eyes, but the rage she felt inside was nothing compared to the pain she is feeling.

V: just get out of here.

He shouted at her and she gave him a look of which could not be forgotten by anyone, her eyes screamed emptiness, hurt, cornered.

R: you gonna regret it Mr raisinghania, very soon.

She walked away from there, from his house. She left every connection she had in that house, everyone there was her enemy. She had a beautiful and simple life but now she's trapped in a turbulence where she herself doesn't knows how to come out.

V: everyone listen here.

He announced in the hall and everyone gathered there. They were giving him a confusing look where a girl was clinging into his arms.

D: who is she vansh?

V: dadi she's my girlfriend

Everyone stood there dumbfounded.

D: what the hell are you saying?

She had tears in her eyes while few of them smirked.

V: it's true dadi, I love her.

Dadi moved forward and slapped him hard and turned her eyes to that girl whose fear was quite visible in her eyes.

D: Did you forget that you have a wife? Did you hit your head somewhere or what?

V: no it's true dadi. I love ahana and I divorced ridhima.

D: you seriously lost your memory or Hit your head hard somewhere. She loves you so much and you divorced her? Are you out of your mind?

V: I am not and I want you all to accept her and

He sat on his knees.

V: will you marry me?

Ahana : of course I will.

She happily clapped and gave her hand where he slid the VR ring in her ring finger.

D: my head will blow up now. Where is ridhima?

V: she's gone. Away from our life.

D: vansh I will never forgive you for this, ridhima was a gem.

I: oh please dadi that middle class cheapo, she seems to have some standard.

D: ishani.

V: I will marry ahana in 3 days.

He announced as if it was not a big deal and walked away with her.

D: what happened to him? How come he took this decision so suddenly?

Here Vansh and Ahana's engagement was going on, few faces had fake happiness while some had no mask at all, clearly unhappy.

Dadi was reminded of the moments of Vansh and ridhima, how beautiful they looked together. She did try searching for her but all went in vain, she disappeared in thin air.

She probably loved ridhima more than any of the family member, she was like an innocent kid.

Chancal: good now we have the marriage tomorrow.

V: now everyone can go and rest as we have a beautiful wedding to attend tomorrow.

D: beautiful my foot.

She murmured to herself. How much she tried making him understand her worth but this idiot is persistent on marrying her as if he loved her for ages where his eyes screamed love only for his ridhima.

On the other side, ridhima was playing with a knife in her hands.

R: ishq or dhoke ka khel h Ye vansh. Tumne mujhe dhokha diya Aur Ab mai Tumse har us dard ka badla lungi. Ek aisi maut marungi ki tum khud Marne ki bheekh mangoge. Pyaar mein wafa ki khwaish karta har dil h Par pyaar mein kya mile kehna Mushkil h.

It was wedding day. Ahana was getting ready, when she was wearing her bangles she noticed a sticker was hiding in the plate.

It was a bleeding heart with a black rose. She didn't pay much attention to it but it had a very deep meaning.

Someone is deeply heart by a betrayal and is coming to take revenge. The knife there is the symbol that someone's heart has been brutally attacked and black rose is death.

R: you will get married today right? Come on let's get you married to death sweetheart.

She whispered to herself and entered the room through window and used chloroform to faint her.

R: Mr Vansh raisinghania you did a big mistake and now your love will pay for it just like I did. Yes, she might be innocent but this is a game of love and betrayal where hearts are at sake.
Will meet you soon vansh baby.

She exited the mansion as a disguise of worker with a flower trolley in her hands.

♡

V: what the hell angre how can she disappear?

He roared and threw the vase angrily, he was angry but dadi was somewhat happy because she never wanted this wedding to take place.

Ang: boss I am checking CCTV footage.

He furiously typed in his laptop.

Ang: dammit someone had switched off the cameras.

He paced back and forth. His eyes went on some kind of paper.

Ang: boss see this.

He handed it to vansh, it was the same sticker of bleeding heart. His eyes watery, with heavy throat he whispered.

V: ridhima. Take out the car.

He shouted and angre followed his orders. He was instructing him the directions, he knew where they could be. The cliff.

V: you stay in the car.

He ordered before angre could respond he glared which was enough for him to oblige his decision .

He ran to the same place where the game started. He saw Ahana tied to a chair and was unconscious, ridhima was caressing a knife.

R: welcome to the game Mr raisinghania. I hope you are enjoying after killing my faith in you.

She still was caressing the knife, she didn't needed to look up. His presence had become her habituation but now it only disgusts her.

V: ridhima leave Ahana, you want revenge from me then please take it from me. Leave her out of it.

R: why should I? The only thing I learnt was hurt the closest person of enemy so it would hurt him directly. I will hurt your love to hurt you.

Her eyes had fire which would destroy anyone who would come in her way.

V: ridhima please. Please leave her.

He pleaded taking few steps closer to her.

R: kisi ne mujhse Kaha tha ye ishq nhi aasan ek aag ka dariya h Aur doob ke jaana h. Sach hi Kaha tha, ishq mein log jaan de bhi sakte h Aur le bhi sakte h. Par Baht logo ne ishq mein jaan gavai Aur Ab Bari ishq mein jaan lene ki h.

She took out a gun and shot Ahana. Vansh was too shocked to react, he looked at her smiling face.

R: this was a game which you won but lost everyone, I won't kill you but your guilt will.

She smiled and did the most unexpected thing.

She shot herself.

V: ridhima!!!

He shouted trying to get hold of her hands but only her dupatta cought his hand. He didn't feel this pain for Ahana which he is feeling now, he understood that he never loved Ahana, he only loved her. His ridhima, who is gone.

Ahana : ah, my head.

She gained her conconciousness which shocked angre, he had ran here due to sound of gunshots. He saw ridhima shooting her and then herself.

Ang: Ahana? You're alive.

Vansh was just looking at the dupatta.

Ang: boss she is alive.

He said keeping his hands on his shoulder. Vansh turned to face him, his eyes screamed pain.

V: my ridhima didn't kill her.

He whispered and angre nodded. He helped Ahana to open up her ropes and noticed that her bridal outfit had a letter pinned. It was written vansh.

Angre handed it to him and Vansh opened it with shaky hands.

I must be gone by now, I will be in peace, away from every lie and betrayal. You see, I wanted to kill Ahana buy my heart again won and she will be alive. But the bullets I'll use for myself gonna be real. I wanted to make you suffer by snatching your love away from you but I can't. My heart didn't gave me the permission to do that, maybe I loved you more than I should have. You can start a happy life with her where I won't be present in this world neither in your life. trust is like salt not really cared as name but gives you the taste in relationship. Our story didn't had salt but please I request you to keep Ahana happy, there should be atleast someone to witness a happy ending. And please see this memory card.

He saw that a chip was stuck with glue and took it out carefully and ordered angre to bring a laptop which was almost in a whisper.

K: vansh you yourself will destroy ridhima. This letter will burn into ashes and you will again doubt her. You will never get ridhima, you yourself will kill her emotionally.

He burned the letter.

Kabir was in jail for his deeds but vansh was ashamed of himself for not trusting her.

V: I lost her angre.

This was a game created by mastermind himself but he lost his most precious and valuable person. Who loved him selflessly, who cared for him unconditionally. He won the game against his enemies but lost to himself. That heart was ridhima's which was bleeding and the black rose was for herself.

The rose is significance of love but a black rose is significance of death and she took death upon herself and that become greatest punishment for vansh to see his love dying in front of him, that too because of him.

From a bubbly cute girl to this broken and tired woman, she didn't deserve it but it's said right that everything is fair in love and war and this was a war of love.

All hearts are left bleeding.

Now this was a game of lies, trust, betrayal but never of love. He never thought that he would love her but in the end it ended as game of love.

Ishq mein marjawan.
